Considering it was raining and the skies were overcast when we left Simville, it was refreshing to wake up to bright sunshine. It was peaceful having a room to ourselves and not having the kids running in and out. Giving the twins their own suite might have been more expensive, but we felt it was worth it especially as Will and I wanted a permanent souvenir of this place if you know what I mean. In this tropical paradise, we found that privacy and were able to enjoy the moment.
Yolanda had ordered herself some pancakes from room service but was still hungry. I found the twins at the foodstall tucking into a brunch of luau ribs. Will was having a bath and I chose to do some digging for treasure. I couldn't quite understand the maps but I had a feeling Captain Dregg's treasure would have been in these parts. Although it was an experience meeting him, I was not going to go back to the ship, wake him up again, have a sing-song with him and see if he'd tell me where his treasure was. Somehow, I don't think he'd be very helpful. After an hour's digging, though, all I'd come up with was another bone and a rock. Wow.
Game Notes
Across the way from the hotel was the Twikkii Beach Boardwalk. I was keen on taking another trip with the guide but the rest of the family just wanted to have a lazy day to buy some some suitable clothes and spend a relaxing afternoon on the beach.
Will and Yolanda both bought some new clothes. Tyler had gone swimming and afterwards chose to do some sunbathing even though it was getting quite overcast. Yolanda decided to make a sandcastle, although I doubt it would win any awards. It did look very nice, though.
Will decided to spend the day learning some local culture. He decided he wished to learn how to do the dangerous art of "fire dancing", although his day-long efforts looked more like that of learning to be a drum major. I chatted with the locals and before long, it was almost midnight and time to return back to the hotel.
I will have to go back there to get some jewelry and souvenirs before we go, though. Anyway, I quickly went to bed. Will chose to sleep on a hammock in the gardens. Tomorrow, we're going to look at some ruins.
